SUPERFOODS The flexible approach to eating more superfoods JULIE MONTAGU THE FLEXI FOODIE Photography by Yuki Sugiura I’ve regularly compared the superfoods in this book to superheroes, and so I’d like to dedicate this book to the real superheroes in my life: my four children, Emma, Jack, William and Nestor. You are each, in your own spectacular way, a true superhero. CONTENTS Title Page Dedication Superfoods, Super You! The Golden Rules Restocking your Pantry Breakfast Fast-Track Savers Portable Lunches Mains Sides Sweet Treats Index Acknowledgements Copyright SUPERFOODS, SUPER YOU! There is NO diet on earth that will yield the same results for everyone. So let’s throw out the word ‘diet’ as we have come to know it once and for all. Feel better already, right?! So, from now on let’s use the proper, original definition of ‘diet’ when it passes through our lips. A diet is the kinds of food that a person, animal or community consistently eats. Boom, there you have it. We are not and should not be looking to ever restrict ourselves to feeling great. However, there are some basic principles of eating that we can all benefit from. In other words, yes, by being flexible you can have your cake and eat it, too. And that’s why I call myself The Flexi Foodie! THIS BOOK IS FOR EVERYONE My ‘Flexi Foodie’ approach to meal times is not one of strict rules; remember we are not dieting, thank goodness! Instead, it demonstrates how it is both simple and advantageous to embrace a plant-based, superfood lifestyle – even if only on a part-time basis. I always tell my children that if they were exactly alike then life would be really boring. So, just as with my children, no two people are identical in their preferences and nutritional requirements. As a result, this book is completely inclusive – no matter what your current diet and lifestyle. Absolutely anyone and everyone can easily revolutionise their eating habits and take a giant leap down the path to long-lasting health. Instead of being an instant process, this book details how to make incremental changes to your lifestyle that serve to eradicate the bad and introduce the good. WHERE IT WENT WRONG But let’s start at the beginning. What causes us to gain weight and what are the health issues that go hand in hand? Why are so many people getting heavier and heavier and sicker and sicker? Fortunately, studies have been examining these questions and we now finally have some answers. Over the past 100 years our consumption of meat, dairy, sugar and processed and packaged foods have sky rocketed. That in turn has led to an increase in obesity rates and health issues. But the good news is that you can change all this very easily and I’m going to show you how!
